AutoCAD Based Calculations (Ribbon/Toolbar/Location)

Button: Start Autocalcs Error Type: Unhandled Exception

Description:

Unhandled exception: Input string not in correct format

Solutions:

Cause:

Cause:

1. Problem with Pipe Size Schedule, most likely a blank space or a missing 9998 marker

2. Pipe on pipe or two blocks in same location

3. Unsized pipe to a drain or dead end (Hcad v51)

4. Windows 10 corupted files

5. Bad block or layer in the drawing, usually created by another trade

Solution:

Solution:

1. Check sizing schedule, check sizing and head count make sure there are no blank spaces. Select a few items and set them different, then back to original to shake it up a little

2. Run OVERKILL command on drawing. Be sure to uncheck the option "end to end" option at the bottom

3. A pipe feeding a drain was unsized and the pipe scheduler couldn't determine its diameter because no sprinklers were being fed. Specifically on the floating main off a gridded system. Size drain pipe and retry. (GAB 12/02/14)

4. Unknown at this time.

5. Export the System Boundary (SB) to a new drawing, then try the process again.  Make sure to either insert the SB drawing to a new template, or use RBL to rebuild the layers in the SB drawing before starting the autocalc process again.  [GAB 10/08/20]
